Innovating Leadership: Co-Creating Our Future S9-Ep47: Coming Soon to a Business Climate Near You!
Guest: Matthew Griffin
Feeling uncertain about the future as a leader? You have good reason: a staggering 55% of a company’s fate lies beyond the CEO’s grasp. In fact, 40% of CEOs believe their companies won’t survive the next decade. So what can you do?
Futurist Matthew Griffin shares his insights in this episode — with game-changing strategies that will reshape the way you perceive your own future leadership.
Here's what Matthew and host Maureen Metcalf cover:
- What the statistics say about the growing irrelevance of today’s type of CEO;
- The qualities you need to win in the current (and future) climate of business chaos; and
- How the future of work is shaping up as AI infiltrates the office space.
